South Florida Counties Dominate at Adult 40 & Over 3.0/4.0 Sectional Championships

Nothing says summer in Florida like some tennis fun and unpredictable weather. The USTA National Campus hosted the Adult 40 & Over 3.0/4.0 Sectional Championships. 

Multiple weather delays couldn’t contain the energy of sectional competition. While Sunday and Monday battled the rain, the players stayed ready and delivered some intense matches. 

South Florida came to play as Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade County thrived all weekend long. The three counties appeared in multiple finals and won a few divisions as well.
